Goodreads added an author???

[Andy]

I know that the book The Swordbearer was written by Glen Cook, but this edition (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40...) also lists Jack L. Chalker as an author. I'd just delete him from the book, except for this entry in the change log:

Goodreads updated the book The Swordbearer by Glen Cook additional author added: Jack L. Chalker
May 15, 2010 05:49am (#4379121)

Would that mean that the system would/could automatically re-add him in the future? Why was he added in the first place???

In May, there was an author import script that was adding authors from B&N. Said script was turned off because of the problems it was causing.

A while back there was a script run to pull in secondary authors from B&N, and it looks like that's where the Chalker listing comes from. You can remove that author if it's incorrect; the script was a one-time thing. (Although it might return, if the script or something like it gets run again, I suppose.)

Wow... And they said it was part of the Soul Rider series, too. I guess misinformation is so much better than the other kind.

Thanks for the help, ladies. :-)
